Dissecting Supermassive Black Holes: Conditions for Star Formation

How do galaxies’ supermassive black holes affect local—and distant—star formation? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will help us determine when star formation “starts” and “stops” if their formation is interrupted by either jets or winds driven by supermassive black holes.
